Perfectionism is the bane of our existence.

It prevents us from putting anything we produce because of our expectations.

Expectations that others might not like it or a fear of judgement.

Or even the fear of not being good enough.

That’s what we’ll unpack in this episode and how you can overcome perfectionism with podcasting.

Does your podcast align with what you’re about?

That’s why I reached out to personal branding expert, Petra Zink to see what her #1 lesson was on what she’d do differently with podcasting.

It comes down to specificity and removing any confusion to what you’re talking about.

Petra mentions that her current podcast ‘Your Brand, Your Future’ is on her third podcast and this one is delivering better results than the other because of this one change.

And to mention it’s 4X her podcast downloads with her community!

Isn’t it a weakness if you show vulnerability?

Like why would anyone want to shower a side that isn’t tough?

Because it’s what will allow others to trust you and feel connected.

Plus, it makes great wisdom for others (people or businesses) going through something similar.

How hard exactly is it to create a podcast?

The short answer is, it's actually quite easy to create one!

The upfront cost of your microphone and maybe a few other items is the cheap part.

What it will cost you is your time.

And that’s why I asked my podcast network “if there was one thing you wish you knew about podcasting before you started, what would it be?”

And my podcaster friend, Mel Scott said she didn’t expect the technical barrier to be that hard to jump over, but more wishing she started earlier.

This is why I wanted to add her two cents on the question for you as a listener.

Business has felt like a bit of a rollercoaster lately.

Constantly questioning whether I’m enough.

And alot of it stems from imposter syndrome.

I’ve noticed that once I feel as if I’m an expert in a field, there’s a ton of expectation I carry because I need to know everything.

But it’s been a challenge and a learning experience knowing that it’s okay that I don’t know everything, and that I’m enough.
